'The Girlfriend Experience'

Magnolia Pictures
Steven Soderbergh's latest chronicles five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers companionship and conversation at $2,000 an hour to her wealthy clients – while balancing a "normal life" with a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle. She thinks she has everything under control, but when you're in the business of meeting people, you never know who you're going to meet…

Special features include filmmaker commentary, a behind-the-scenes making-of featurette and an unrated, alternate cut of the film.

'Shrink'

Roadside Attractions
Kevin Spacey is Henry Carter, a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a faded actress, an insecure young writer and an obsessive-compulsive super-agent. The problem is that Henry is so disillusioned with both his career and personal life, he may just be in need of his own shrink. Also starring Robin Williams, Robert Loggia and Saffron Burrows.

Special features include deleted scenes, filmmaker commentary and a Jackson Browne music video.

'Filth and Wisdom'

IFC Films
Madonna's feature-film directorial debut follows three dreamers in London -- A.K. (Eugene Hutz), a "philosopher" from Ukraine who dresses in drag to pay the rent while trying to become an "international star"; kleptomaniac Juliette (Vicky McClure), who wants to help people in developing nations but works in a drug store in the meantime; and Holly (Holly Weston), who works as a pole dancer but dreams of success as a ballerina. Richard E. Grant also stars as the upstairs neighbor, a blind professor.

'Away We Go'

Focus Features
"The Office" star John Krasinski and former "Saturday Night Live" star Maya Rudolph play an expectant couple looking for the perfect place to raise a family in this funny and heartfelt film from director Sam Mendes ('American Beauty,' 'Revolutionary Road'). The film follows John and Maya's journey across the U.S. in search of a location to put down their roots -- and their various misadventures with strangers, relatives and friends.

Special features include filmmaker commentary, a behind-the-scenes making-of featurette and "Green Filmmaking," in which cast and crew talk about how 'Away We Go' has pushed the envelope on environmentally friendly filmmaking.

'Monsters vs. Aliens'

Dreamworks
When the military enlists a ragtag group of monsters to save the world from destruction by aliens, it's Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie and Will Arnett to the rescue! Reese lends her voice as Susan Murphy, an ordinary human transformed by meteor-gunk into the towering 49-feet-11-inches-tall "Ginormica." Joining her as Earth's last line of defense against a destructive alien-robot are a one-eyed blue blob, B.O.B. (Rogen); the brilliant Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D (Laurie); and the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link (Arnett). Other A-list voices featured are Kiefer Sutherland as General W.R. Monger, Stephen Colbert as the U.S. president and "The Office"'s Rainn Wilson as the villainous Gallaxhar.

The Ginormous double-DVD pack and Blu-ray each include four pairs of 3D glasses; filmmaker commentary; deleted scenes; a behind-the-scenes look at the movie; three all-new music videos; DWA Music Video Jukebox; the "Creature Feature Fun Factory"; an all-new interactive 3D Paddle Ball game; and the all-new "B.O.B.'s Big Break," in which B.O.B and his monstrous crew must outwit General W.R. Monger to attempt at triumphant escape from Area 52. Additional features exclusive to Blu-ray include an Animators' Corner and trivia track.

'Management'

Samuel Goldwyn Films
Jennifer Aniston stars as a traveling saleswoman who sells cheap art to small companies and motels. During one of her stops, aimless assistant motel manager Steve Zahn falls head over heels for her and she decides to have a fling with him. But when it's time for her to leave, he decides to pursue her around the country for an opportunity at a relationship.

Special features include commentary featuring Zahn and director Stephen Belber, plus deleted scenes and gag reel.
